DIY Copper Pipe & Yarn Wall Hanging

Here’s a simple, no-weave, DIY yarn wall hanging for you to make your walls pop. Get your favorite colors of yarn together, pick up a copper pipe, some string, and you’ve got yourself a gorgeous, on-trend piece of wall art to make in under an hour!

Friends, I know we’re all hunkering down in our homes for the next few weeks, and it can get get a little nerve-wracking to be stuck at home with nothing to do, but dont’ you worry boys and girls, my friend Abbey and I have got your back! Abbey started this fun hashtag yesterday called #CoronoCrafts and #CovidCrafting and we are running with it 😀 The goal is to come up with easy and fun crafts we can do to keep busy and panic less *woot woot*

Today’s craft is super simple and only requires two things – yarn and a copper pipe (you can substitute it with any random branch or wooden stick you might have lying around the house).

Here’s what you need:

• yarn in 3 or 4 colors
• copper pipe (mine was 18′) or use a found branch from outdoors
• String (I used a leather string I had)
• Beads (optional)

how to:

Step 1:

Cut your yarn into 24″ pieces (an easy way to do this is wrap several lengths of yarn the size you want your pieces to be and just cut through the loops at both ends) Start off with a little bit of each color and you can cut more if needed

Step 2:

Double your yarn piece to form a loop at one end, place under the copper pipe, and pass the bottom ends through the loop to make a knot. (See image below for reference)

Step 2:

Continue tying the rest of the yarn pieces to the copper pipe, while keeping color in mind. You can follow my pattern or create your own stripes! Once you’re happy with the color placement, lay down the wall hanging and give it a trim! You can follow the shape I did or do any other fun shape you like.

Step 5:

Pass your string through the copper pipe and cut it at a length you like. Tie it up and add wooden beads for a cute finishing touch!

That’s it folks! Your DIY Yarn Wall hanging is all set to hang pretty on your wall! Currently I have it hanging in Zaki’s new bedroom, if you haven’t seen it yet go check it out!
